Divadlo Astorka Korzo´90

Divadlo Astorka Korzo´90 aims to follow in the footsteps of the Bratislava’s Divadlo Na korze Theatre closed in the hard-line crackdown following the 1968 Soviet invasion. Divadlo Na korze Theatre was known for its groundbreaking choice of plays and directorial attitudes to modern world classics. The present theatre has a repertoire designed to appeal to a variety of audiences, based on a personal style of acting by the company’s galaxy of stars. In addition to modern classics it pays attention to contemporary playwriting, with remarkable production having emerged from cooperation with the Slovak writer Rudolf Sloboda.

A team of professionals in Astorka prepare stage productions which are every year an extraordinary event of the season and are successfully performed at Slovak, Czech and foreign international festivals (ITF Divadelná Nitra Slovak republic; ITF Divadlo Pilsen, Czech Republic; TF Setkáni/Stretnutie, Zlín, Czech Republic; ITF Na hranici, Český Těšín/Cziesyn, Czech Republic/Poland; ITF Mittelfest, Cividale del Friuli, Italy; ITF Fringe 2000 in Edinburgh, Great Britain; Celebrate Slovakia: Art From the Heart of Europe, 2001, U.S.A. ; The Days of the Slovak Culture, Moscow, Russia).

The actors of the company are holders of important theatre awards and the production of the Theatre Astorka Korzo´90 themselves were two times awarded a prestigious price for the best production of the season – DOSKY´97 for the Forest and DOSKY´98 for the Scenes in the House of Bessemenov – Smug Citizens.

In 1998 Peter Kresánek (Mayor of the Capital of the Slovak Republic Bratislava) awarded the Theatre by the Price of the Mayor of the Capital of the Slovak Republic Bratislava – Knight Roland.
